It\u2019s also for enjoyment right at the brewery, surrounded by friends and family. The most sublime beer runs involve <em>both<\/em>\u00a0scenarios: sipping at the brewery and then leaving with arms full of fresh craft beer for later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor small and independent breweries, the Fourth of July period is like Black Friday,\u201d says Bart Watson, chief economist for the Brewers Association. \u201cIt\u2019s easily one of the biggest beer holidays for to-go sales, and is a huge driver of on-premise sales as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No surprise there. Craft beer is a natural complement to picnics, barbecues, family reunions, cookouts, and camping trips. When it comes to essential shopping-list items for Independence Day, independent beer is right up there with charcoal briquettes, sparklers, and sunscreen.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary internal-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.craftbeer.com\/news\/national-independent-beer-run-day\">Get Involved<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some beer runs are so momentous \u2014\u00a0so\u00a0essential\u00a0\u2014 they deserve their own special holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3172,"featured_media":111642,"sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"sticky_collection":"","_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"103222,101098,83183,96234,60328,52503","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[480,4812],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-111641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-full-pour"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PSA: July 3 Is National Independent #BeerRunDay - CraftBeer.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Some beer runs are so essential they deserve their own special holiday.
